Chapter 222: The Reappearance of the Scenery of the Past
In the secret room of the Rose Palace, Lily hugged her child uneasily, nervously listening to the sounds coming from the outside world, and praying silently in her heart.
The door suddenly opened, making her body tremble. Then she raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the head maid Wen Na coming in.
"How is the situation outside?" Lily asked anxiously.
"It's very bad." Wen Na said as she walked, and she helped the weak Red Queen.
"We need to move to another place, please come with me, Your Majesty."
With a few guards, Lily and the child began to move deeper into the palace, but it was obvious that there was not much room to hide now, and the rear lines were being broken through step by step. After losing Derosa, those who
The red-clothed Dark Moon emerged from the shadows, pounced in various strange ways, and killed the guarding guards.
And just when the coalition of nobles thought they were about to capture the queen and prince, a red beam of light rose from the Blood Moon Hall, which is the important place of royal inheritance and the deepest part of the Rose Palace.
The brilliant beam of light penetrated the clouds, gradually spread in the air, and then stirred the clouds, forming a slowly rotating vortex. The originally pouring rain also gradually stopped...
"Edron has activated the royal secret treasure." On the high bell tower, Kenos looked at the brightening sky, swaying slightly on her legs, and then jumped down.
"I'm going to take a look. After all, Elio has never been exposed to these things, so we can't let him suffer." After saying that, Kenos disappeared under the clock tower.
After she left, the assassin in red who had been staying behind also bowed and saluted, and then suddenly disappeared.
Deep in the Palace of Roses, private armies of nobles stood on both sides of the road, making way for the king to come and welcome him here.
After entering this palace, you will see a spacious half-moon square in front of you, and in the center surrounded by crescent moons is a magnificent palace with a crescent moon symbol on the top.
At this time, the palace was shrouded and isolated by a light red light barrier, and many magic and crossbow arrows could not enter.
When the royal bloodline barrier is opened, no one else is allowed to enter except the descendants of the royal family.
Nowadays, most people cannot go in, but just from the outside, you can see that there are many people inside, including the regent. He stands in the center of the hall, holding up exquisite ritual vessels. With the help of the brilliant magic circle,
Emit the red light beam together with the signal.
Elio, escorted by a group of red-clad Dark Moons, slowly came to the square and finally stopped for the time being.
"Your Majesty, we apologize for not being able to open the barrier of the seal." Several young nobles who led the team before apologized to the young king. Many of them still had injuries on their bodies, and some even had their arms broken.
One is missing.
"Get up." Elio simply replied, then waved his hand to ask them to leave for now.
After that, the young king approached the closed hall step by step.
When he was about to approach the light red barrier emerging from the sky, a surging light gun was shot out from the hall. Judging from its momentum, it was meant to penetrate the young man.
However, once such an attack was launched, it was noticed by the Imperial Dark Moons who paid close attention to it.
They flashed, slashed with their swords, and chopped up the incoming light guns, and then quickly retreated to their positions on both sides of the road.
Looking at this scene, Elio just paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward until he gradually raised his hand, preparing to touch the light red barrier.
"Although it can be opened, you still have to protect yourself, Elio." A slender white wrist held Elio's arm, and a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"Konos?" Elio called out the girl's name in a low voice, and then with the help of Konos, he pressed his hand on the light red barrier.
A wave of water ripples spread across the shield, and then with a bang, the light red barrier exploded like a burst bubble and disappeared.
"Are you finally here?" In the hall, Edron stood with a sword in his hand, his body exuding far more magical power than usual, and he stared at the young man who walked in.
"I didn't expect him to be such a kid, haha."
Seeing Elio's appearance, Edron felt angry and sad that such a child could overthrow him.
"Then let me guess who your father could be. It could be another grandson of my uncle, or an unknown abandoned baby from the royal family."
"No." Before Elio could speak, the silver-purple maid beside him spoke first.
Then she let go of Elio's hand, stood in front of the king, and stared at the abnormal state of the regent in the distance.
"His Majesty Elio, my master, is the son of the noble Crown Prince. He is the most orthodox successor to the empire."
"Oh, Ans Ayr hasn't even completed the wedding, how can he have a child?" Even though he knew that the child's bloodline was unusual, Edron could never admit it at this moment.
"Negative, His Majesty Elio is the child of the Crown Prince Ansroy, but he did not have time to announce his identity while he was still alive."
Of course, there was no time to announce it, because at that time the old emperors wanted Ansroy to marry the daughter of the Griffin family, and the previously secret love affair was concealed by the Dark Moons.
"Ansroy, he is not married. Even if he has offspring, he is an illegitimate child without inheritance rights." Edron showed a look of disdain. In his opinion, this child is just a child created by women who are keen to cling to them.
Bargaining chips.
"Oh? It's time to talk about legal system. Then when you brothers usurped the throne, why didn't you say that you actually had no right to inherit? Even if the crown prince brothers are not here, His Majesty the Emperor has other heirs, it is not your turn no matter what."
Si said mockingly, defending Elio.
Edron could not refute this and could only snort coldly.
"I think so. No matter how much you talk now, I can't make you hand over your power." Kenos crossed her chest with one hand and touched her chin lightly with the other hand, as if thinking.
"So, I can only let you die." The maid's words were clear and innocent, but the killing intent revealed in them made the many nobles who were watching tremble in their hearts.
At first, they thought she was just a good-looking maid who had a close relationship with His Majesty, but now it seems that her origin is definitely not simple.
That kind of willfulness, innocence, strength, and indifference to life made these nobles with long family backgrounds think of some secret records.
Perhaps the person standing in front of them was a witch, an existence that many established nobles loved and hated.
"However, in this situation, as a maid, I cannot usurp the master's prestige."
Saying that, the maid turned around lightly and let Elio out of the way.
"Let His Majesty understand it personally with you."
After her words fell, she raised her hand, and light snowflakes fell in the hall, followed by sweeping. The guards and confidants who were standing beside Edron froze in this moment, and then turned into motionless and stiff ice sculptures.
.
White snowflakes continued to fall, covering the quiet hall, gradually covering everything, and under the towering dome, only the stage where the two people faced each other was left.
The change of old and new power, blood relations and hatred, and the succession of thrones are all resolved in the battle between the two.
After realizing that this battle was unavoidable, Elio and Edron also drew their swords and walked toward each other step by step. Their similar red eyes stared at each other, and then were separated by the gradually raised sword blades.
A snowflake fell slowly, slid across the blade, and split into two halves. Then the two of them galloped out and began a life-and-death battle in the hall.
